MG MG Y Type - Clutch Cable & rod linkage connection

I forgot to take pictures before removing the clutch rod & cable link connection. The re-bored engine + gearbox are now installed but I cannot recall how the links are fitted. I have a bracket (picture attached) which fits on the side of the engine, but again cannot recall what it is for.

I would appreciate some advice. If anyone has a picture from under the car on the installed linkage, it would be much appreciated.

It's to hold back the cable and is bolted against the sump. See picture.

Do you need a photo of the whole ensemble fitted together on an engine?

Hi Paul & Willem

Many thanks for your quick response. The pictures attached by Willem proved most helpful and I have now completed the linkage system. I need to now finish off all the ancillaries including oil pump connections etc before starting the engine and taking the YT on the road again. I never realised how much effort and time is required to remove and re-assemble the Y type engine. Never had so many unique problems even with a Mini or Austin 1100 years ago!!

Your help is much appreciated.

Best wishes

Make sure you have the correct pedal free play on the clutch pedal. See the Workshop Manual.
